This doesn't make me or anyone else anti-American or anti-patriotic. I am sure there are other foods from around the globe that Americans have managed to reinvent to their tastes. It is not authentic Chinese food, it is created for Western palates. Chinese buffets in most places are a joke. People add a hot pepper or tortilla to a recipe and call it Mexican. All I have to do is look at what many American call Mexican or Chinese food and recipes and I know that he is right. I am an American, born here, live here, etc. Have you worked with store bought stuffing? How do you make it pop? I say stick with homemade stuffing like my Vegan Stuffing. I looked in Whole Foods and their packaged stuffing averaged 390 mg sodium per serving (not much better). He went on and on about real food and how Americans are without a clue. My Australian husband pronounced it inedible and asked me why I would serve something that tasted like soggy bread and call it stuffing. I added sautéed onions and celery (and as you can see some parsley) to try to make it work and I cut the butter in half. I use about 4 ounces of olive oil in my stuffing. In a shocker, the package wanted me to add 8 ounces of butter to the mix. I bought the one that looked the best – Arnold Premium Stuffing Seasoned (400 mg sodium per serving) and decided that I could maybe improve it. I have no doubt that my homemade version is much more costly.
